I Kiss Boys and Girls

The summer is halfway over but we know that you have a few more weekends in Fire Island scheduled in that packed calendar of yours, don't you? We thought so. As much as we agree with a healthy summer glow, on your next trip, be sure to take a break from the sun and check out the new Fire Island Pines location of Maison 24 for their special edition "I Kiss Boys" and "I Kiss Girls" tote bags. Brought to you by The Hetrick-Martin Institute (home of the Harvey Milk foundation) and in collaboration with Polo Ralph Lauren, these unique totes were created by the youth members' involvement with the Polo Fashion School. Each tote is available for only $20 and can be purchased at any Maison 24 location or online at www.Maison24.com. 75% of the proceeds are donated directly to the Hetrick-Martin Institute -- the nation's largest social service organization dedicated to the needs of gay, lesbian, transgender, and questioning teenagers. Be sure to support the cause and grab the one that best fits you, whether it's boys, girls, or both.
